President Edward M. Hundert took the lead of ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø in 2002—as the events of Sept. 11, 2001, made their early impacts on the international stage.
During his presidency, The Alumni Association of ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø, a unified network of ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø graduates and alumni of its predecessor institutions, took shape. But financial deficits and new university branding that alienated Western Reserve University graduates eventually led to Hundert’s resignation in 2006.
